SkinBase Hydro is a non-invasive treatment specially designed to cleanse, exfoliate, purify, hydrate and revitalise the skin.
The treatment incorporates a natural blend of AHAs and BHAs to rid the skin of dead skin cells and debris. The peel removes the top layers of the skin called the stratum corneum, which results in skin that feels instantly smoother and fresher, while stimulating cell turnover and collagen growth.
Once the pores are unclogged and the skin is prepped, an infusion of powerful ingredients are targeted into the skin with the use of a personalised serum.
The Hydro treatment is versatile and effective. With a range of serums to choose from, it is ideal for anyone who wishes to achieve healthy, glowing skin.
Regular Hydro treatments will ensure continued improvement for your skin concerns.

During a Hydro treatment, a multi-step process of a cleanse, a peel and serum is used. Applied using a vacuum action, these ingredients are delivered more effectively into the skin, as the vacuum helps to enhance absorption and penetration. Additionally, the vacuum action stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage, promoting detoxification and improving circulation. The peel exfoliates the skin, removing any dead skin cells and debris. The targeted serum is then infused into the skin, to combat your specific skin concerns. Once the serum has absorbed, your SkinBase Therapist will follow up with the SkinBase Essentials skincare range to lock the fantastic ingredients into your skin, and keep it protected post-treatment.
The SkinBase Hydro is beneficial for a range of skin concerns, such as dull skin, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and acne and congestion.
If you have specific skin concerns, we recommend that you have a course of Hydro treatments to maximise your results. Generally, a course of 3-6 treatments will help you to achieve the healthy skin you desire. After your course, you can go on to have monthly maintenance sessions to maintain your results.
However, the exact number of treatments required is dependent on your specific concerns and goals. If you have very problematic skin, you may require more than 6 sessions before moving onto a maintenance plan. If you only require a boost before a big event, you could have a single session.
When having a course of treatments, we recommend that you space them every 2-4 weeks. This allows the skin enough time to benefit from the treatment and prepare for the next one.
The Hydro treatment has a number of benefits. The use of powerful active ingredients allow you to see and feel a difference in your skin immediately. The Hydro treatment can be used across the face and the body, so you can treat skin concerns wherever they occur.
After a correctly performed procedure by a fully qualified therapist, nothing more than occasional mild redness. Hydro is non-surgical and non-invasive, so there are no risks associated with the treatment. Any redness will subside within 24 hours.
The treatment is suitable for all skin tones and skin types, and can be personalised with the choice of serums to treat specific skin concerns.
Microdermabrasion provides intensive exfoliation using a vigorous stream of crystals. SkinBase Hydro provides a gentle exfoliation and focuses on hydration and overall skin health through the infusion of actives and botanicals. Both treatments effectively rejuvenate the skin. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on your specific skincare goals and preferences, and both treatments can be integrated into a comprehensive skincare regimen to achieve optimal results.
